Reminder: Sony will have a CES press conference on January 6 at 5:00 pm PST time. I will try to embed the livestream on SAR. I do not expect any new Alpha gear.

But there is a good chance Zeiss might give us the final specs and pricing info about the new ZX1. About time we get this camera for real :)

Ted Forbes:

All of the lenses in this video were released in 2019. I picked winners based on 5 different categories – best ultrawide lens, best wide angle lens, best normal lens, best portrait lens, and best long telephoto. And I have the overall winner for 2019. These are all selected on the basis of optics, features, size and price.

Matt Granger is a well known youtuber using Nikon gear. He tried to use Sony cameras in the past but was never entirely happy with it. But the day has come again that he has decided to jump back on the Sony wagon, thanks to the Sony A7rIV.

Welcome back Matt ;)
